4. Do not hoe or cultivate diseased beans when they are wet, r.s 

 this would spread the disease to healthy plants. 



While it is rather late in the season to begin spraying with hopes 

 of complete success, growers whose fields are not too badly affected 

 will find it quite profitable to remove badly diseased plants and 

 spray thoroughly. We desire to correspond with growers who will 

 be willing to undertake co-operative experiments in spraying for 

 this disease next year. We shall be glad to examine and report 

 on diseased beans which may be sent in. Be sure to send them 

 well wrapped so that they will not dry out. Do not enclose in a 

 letter. Where growers are not sure that they know the disease we 

 will endeavor to send specimens if they are requested. Those who 

 are interested in making further inquiries into the nature of this 

 disease and its treatment will find the following bulletins of value. 

 They may doubtless be obtained in most cases by addressing a request 

 for the same to the director of the Station from which they are 

 issued.
